ASTON VILLA

Out: Emiliano Buendia (knee), Tyrone Mings (knee), Boubacar Kamara (knee), Jacob Ramsey (toe), Morgan Rogers (hamstring)

Doubtful: Alex Moreno (calf), Youri Tielemans (groin), Nicolo Zaniolo (muscle)

Unai Emery quotes: "Each day is going to be very important because some players have small injuries, some have pain and it's not a day when or where they can come back.

"[Nicolo] Zaniolo is close but until he is feeling comfortable he's not available to play, hopefully he can progress. [Youri] Tielemans is close. [Alex] Moreno is not a big injury."

BOURNEMOUTH

Out: Ryan Fredericks (calf), Luis Sinisterra (thigh), Milos Kerkez (suspended), Chris Mepham (illness)

Doubtful: None

Andoni Iraola quotes: "Lloyd Kelly will play tomorrow. He has been involved in training normally so we have no concerns about this. So we've recovered Lloyd; Tyler Adams and Marcus Tavernier will also be part of the squad."

Out: Josh Dasilva (knee), Rico Henry (knee), Ben Mee (ankle), Aaron Hickey (hamstring)

Doubtful: Kristoffer Ajer (nose), Mathias Jensen (knock)

"We're not going to see [Aaron Hickey] this season [due to a hamstring injury]. I'm not the manager of Scotland, but I don't think it is positive [for him to have a chance of playing at EURO 2024]."

"It is not easy when you come back from a long-term injury. The most important thing is he can be available and be part of the squad. It is important to finish [the season] with good feelings.

"Happy! This is the last week of the season and nearly all the players will be fit and available - it's a good time. It's good to see the future and be more optimistic.

"Disappointed [the season is ending], as I think to increase the level and improve everyday we need to asses why we need to do better and improve. I think it's a good challenge for next season - we need to increase the availability of the players."

Out: Sam Johnstone (elbow), Cheick Doucoure (Achilles), Matheus Franca (groin), Jefferson Lerma (hamstring), Rob Holding (thigh)

Doubtful: None

Oliver Glasner quotes: "It's good news. The players are fit. Jefferson Lerma also took part in the last two sessions. It is too early for him, but he will be back for Aston Villa. The others who were fit against Manchester United are still available so that's good."

EVERTON

Gameweek 37 opponents: Sheffield United (H)

Out: Dele Alli (groin), Nathan Patterson (hamstring), Vitaliy Mykolenko (ankle)

Doubtful: None

Sean Dyche quotes: "Most are around it. We've not got anyone seriously injured so it should be the group ready to go again.

"I always believe in playing a team that can win a game so that'll be the main thing. There might be certain changes but we'll wait and see.

"We've come through training [yesterday] unscathed, so it's pretty much the group that we can change, if we feel it's right, but we want to go and win the game - that is our mindset."

Doubtful: None

Rob Edwards quotes: "The plan was to just keep [Elijah Adebayo] on and push him as long as we could. He started looking over and saying that was probably the right time. So we did well with that - we listened to him and he listened to his body.

"We've got Chieo (Chiedozie) Ogbene back training with us. He's been back the last couple of days which is good, so he can come into the squad, other than that we're where we are.

"We'll try and get him involved, he's only had a couple of days training, but we're at the stage now where we want to try and get players who can influence games back involved and Chieo is one of those."

MANCHESTER CITY

Gameweek 37 opponents: Fulham (A)

Out: None

Doubtful: None

Pep Guardiola quotes: "No injury worries. Everyone is fine. I don't know what other clubs do, but for many years we've had an incredible medical department here. Doing the same thing could be maybe the opposite, but we were fortunate last season too we had few injuries."

Doubtful: Marcus Rashford (foot), Scott McTominay (knee), Bruno Fernandes (knock)

Erik ten Hag quotes: "Bruno was on the pitch and Scott McTominay was on the pitch, so there are some players returning. But also I have to report that unfortunately, yesterday, Mason Mount fell out [of contention]. So he will not be available for Sunday.

"Yesterday Licha came to me and he wanted to play on Sunday against Arsenal, but he is not ready yet," Erik added. "He needs a little bit more time to go through the process.

"Rashy, of course, he trained this morning as well, and we have to see how he recovered from this. But I think it looks quite good and I hope he can tomorrow make the next training and then see if he is available for Sunday.

"Luke Shaw had a setback in his process as well but there is still a hope and he will fight to be available for the final."

Eddie Howe quotes: "Kieran [Trippier] is getting closer; he has trained this week. It was the first time with the group. He trained well, it has been a good week for him. I will make a decision today whether he will be involved tomorrow.

"[Joelinton and Miguel Almirón] have trained well; we have been able to get some good work into their bodies. They are still building their robustness if you like, you need the load behind you to stay fit. They are doing well."

NOTTINGHAM FOREST

Gameweek 37 opponents: Chelsea (H)

Doubtful: Neco Williams (hamstring)

SHEFFIELD UNITED

Doubtful: None

Chris Wilder quotes: "From a physical point of view I have talked about Everton having a lot of technical players. They are a massive threat at set-plays - that is gong to be a real challenge for us. Losing two of our bigger players [centre-backs Anel Ahmedhodzic and Mason Holgate] doesn't help the cause so we are going to need to find a way.

"We go into that with preparation exactly the same. We have to dust ourselves down and we go to Everton believing we can get a result."

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR

Gameweek 37 opponents: Burnley (H)

Out: Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring), Fraser Forster (foot), Manor Solomon (knee), Ben Davies (calf) Destiny Udogie (thigh), Timo Werner (thigh)
